Samba not visible

Configuration
1

I’m working on Windows 11 computer and installed HA with VirtualBox. Works fine…

Now I installed Samba and have these configurations :

allow_hosts:
  - 10.0.0.0/8
  - 172.16.0.0/12
  - 192.168.1.0/24
  - fe80::/10
compatibility_mode: false
password: xxx.
username: xxx
veto_files:
  - ._*
  - .DS_Store
  - Thumbs.db
  - icon?
  - .Trashes
workgroup: WORKGROUP

My computer has IP address 192.168.1.5

In explorer I see the folder Network, where I see my router - Diskstation - Nest Hub…but no HomeAssistant ?

Why ?

It won’t show up there. You have to map a network share/drive. Use the alternative credentials option and enter the user and password from your addon config.

OK, restarted everything and now it accept only with credentials :slight_smile:

But creating a networkdrive is still not possible…

It has been a while, but in case someone come across the same issue.

You can Windows + R and type your HA’s IP address as Tsar said. Once you can see all the folders, you need to right click on the one you want to create a drive for and click on the ‘Map network drive…’ option.
